📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, you're looking at kvmppc_gsb_new(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “create a new guest state buffer” main character energy. No cap, this page is short and sweet, so let's go. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kvmppc_gsb_new — create a new guest state buffer 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct kvmppc_gs_buff * kvmppc_gsb_new (size_t size , unsigned long

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • size — total size of the guest state buffer, and yes bestie, it includes the header 💖
  • guest_id — guest_id. That's literally the whole assignment. 🫡
  • vcpu_id — vcpu_id. Same energy. ✨
  • flags — GFP flags. 🌱

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns a guest state buffer. That's the whole plot — the manpage is not gonna give you extra lore here, it literally just says it returns a guest state buffer. Iconic minimalism, honestly. 💅
